Great information for all levels of endurance athletes!, June 1, 2000
I thought this book would be too technical for me, the non-elite endurance runner, but I was wrong. Not to say there isn't information that would help the elite athlete - there is - but I was bowled over by the easy-to-read, no-nonsense, useful suggestions on how to go the distance. (In fact, I learned as much from the "other" endurance sports as I did from the running sections. Want to run a marathon? Check out the information from the RAM cycling section...the info there applies perfectly! ) Also, GREAT athlete interviews and case studies. This is a must-read for the budding or elite athlete or any coach or advisor. You'll find yourself going back to it over and over again.

A great book for high performance endurance athletes!, June 26, 2000
Sports nutrition encompasses scientific research, food and fluid recommendations, and practical applications for training and competition. Designed for endurance athletes-this book has it all! Combining the latest scientific findings, sport nutrition guidance, and practical fueling strategies of elite endurance athletes makes this book excel. Learning how highly competitive athletes apply sport nutrition recommendations is especially valuable. This book is well organized, engaging to read, and targeted for high level athletic performance. I teach sports nutrition online at Montana State University and definitely recommend this book to my students.

excellent training resource, September 13, 2000
this author knows her stuff. this is a good, very up-to-date handbook for the serious endurance athlete (and for the serious weekend warrior!). as a former pro triathlete, and still a hack marathoner, i had not read a sports nutrition book in several years. for me, this book was a great refresher, and also a reminder of the importance of proper diet in a high performance lifestyle. highly recommended for people who are active and either already performing at a high level, or training to improve their performance. runners, skiers, hikers, cyclists, triathletes, etc. will find relevant, sport-specific info, too.

Secret Weapon, April 17, 2007
This review is from: Endurance Sports Nutrition, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I am in my mid-40s and have toyed with the idea of doing a triathlon for quite some time. Somehow, when I would begin to really get the training ramped up, I would run in to a problem. I believe that I was probably bringing on the problems with less than ideal nutrition. So, though I harbor no aspirations of being a serious athlete, I have found that nutrition is an important--and often overlooked--aspect for even recreational athletes like me. Using the information in this book is allowing me to push my training farther than I ever have before and will get me across the finish line for my first triathlon sometime this summer.

An awesome resource for any endurance athlete, April 5, 2007
This review is from: Endurance Sports Nutrition, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I'm an aging triathlete, who still enjoys competing but now has to balance my obsession with family, kids, job etc. As I can no longer log huge training hours, I've had to look for other (smarter?) ways to maintain/improve my performance. Awhile back I borrowed a copy of this book from a friend, and found it massively valuable. It has truly changed the way I train and compete, and has had a huge impact on my performance. When the new edition came out I returned my borrowed (and now excessively dog-eared) copy and bought the latest version. It's actually much improved from the original version. Most of the content is still the same (and just as valuable), but the organization is much improved and I've found it's easier to get sport-specific info without wading through the extra stuff. I'd strongly recommend this book to any athlete (serious or casual) who wants to better enjoy their sport and/or improve their performance.

The Right Stuff for Endurance Athletes, April 3, 2007
This review is from: Endurance Sports Nutrition, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I practice & teach yoga. Sometimes I take nice long hikes. I'm also a dietitian. But until I read Suzanne Eberle's 2nd edition of Endurance Sports Nutrition, I never fully appreciated just how different life is, nutritionally, for endurance athletes. And who could better tell us about it and how to eat to maximize training, racing, recovery and good health than an elite runner and sports dietitian?
If you are a long distance runner, biker, triathelete or participate in another seemingly impossible endurance challenge, please do your loved ones a favor and pick up this book. It is highly detailed and filled with personal stories from elite athletes on how they balance the body-punishing aspects of their sports with conscious nutrition to refuel, rebuild and sustain.
Any athlete will find something here that will bolster their success.

Excellent Sports Nutrition Resource, May 6, 2007
This review is from: Endurance Sports Nutrition, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This is a serious sports nutrition book for serious athletes. It is packed with information for the endurance athlete or those coaching endurance/elite athletes. In addition to providing a complete nutritional overview for the elite athlete, Endurance Sports touches on other related subjects such as hydration, the effectiveness of supplements, food intolerances, eating disorders and even optimal eating for the vegetarian athlete. As a nutrition writer, this book is an integral part of my reference library.

Great Resource, December 10, 2007
I've been running since I was in high school and continued during and after graduationg college. It wasn't until recently that I decided to run my first half marathon. I have read lots of material on training and nutrition, but none have been as complete and informative. The first eight chapters are devoted to all endurance athletes. The last few chapters are each devoted to a particular endurance sport. This book has taught me how to fully prepare and train to successfully reach my goal. I would suggest this book for anyone interested in endurance sports.

Right on the money, July 18, 2007
This review is from: Endurance Sports Nutrition, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
Suzanne knows her stuff. I've been an ultrarunner and endurance athlete for nearly 25 years and I find Suzanne's wisdom and advice both on target and incredibly helpful. In fact, as I get older, which I am, her advice is seemingly even more relevant. Following her advice on everything from hydration to nutrition to stretching has been vital to me being able to keep doing what I love to do. The bottom line is that proper nutrition is key to optimal performance and the information in this book can ensure you're geting both.

Eat up., March 23, 2010
This review is from: Endurance Sports Nutrition, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
Stacks of logical informative. A fair bit of science. You won't find many meal recipes, but all the information you need to plan you food and fluid intake.
